Travel with acclaimed actress Julia Roberts to the beautifully exotic land of Borneo in search of the sole surviving great apes of Asia. With their extremely long arms and short, bowed legs, orangutans love their tree life and rarely come down to the ground. Covered with reddish fur, and wearing a gentle, thoughtful expression, these creatures are one of the most intelligent on earth. But has illegal poaching and habitat destruction placed the apes in danger of extinction?

Julia Child and Julie Powell - both of whom wrote memoirs - find their lives intertwined. Though separated by time and space, both women are at loose ends... until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.
